Gas can Grilli lol. I actually do like him and can say he has looked good overall. Our blowouts need overthrows since we are all insane hardcore fans who subject ourselves to this daily. DOUBLEPLAY!

RBIs aren't really reflective of anything.

They’re more reflective of the guys in front of you in the order. Willy T usually leads off, right? So he’s not gonna get much in the way of RBI opportunities.

Also, Reynolds’ RBIs mostly came during the first 2-3 weeks of the season when he was ON FIRE.

by DbacksSkins on May 13, 2008 9:54 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I disagree

look at Willy T tonight. 3 left on base on front of him. his OPS is terrible as well.

by moomacher on May 13, 2008 9:55 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, 3 LOBs or 3 RLISP?

See, OPS or even OPS+ is a much better measure of a hitter’s ability than RBIs.

Win or lose I want CDI back and Hurdle apparently doesn’t like something about him. Is it that he hates that CI can hit and catch well, is too nice, his bald head, his overall good guy status or what? Not that his other player decisions have been good either…one vote for Dinger for manager!

for this team to win….don’t allow 8 runs in a game.

Also hit…..hits help get runs…runs are key to having MORE runs than the other team.

More runs….and you WIN

I don’t think getting rid of Atkins is the answer, thankfully the announcers support my thoughts. And where is Tulo? I mean, I know he is hurt, but haven’t seen him around the team much. I admit I am so jealous of the Dbacks since they have Bob Melvin at the helm. Say what you want, but we would have a better record if he was here. I love how most people on the Rockies official site board say nothing is Hurdle’s fault.

Lemme fiddle with that a bit

Make that 3 Iannettas, 5 Cooks, 7 Buckys so we have 12 pitchers.

you know we are looking at getting swept

in AZ. then who do we face this weekend? the hot Twins, who are division leaders.

And as soon as the other team gets 4 runs…it’s over. And our pitchers can’t hold anyone to less then 6 runs.

Anyone seen Jeff Baker? Has he called in?

Instead of watching the game tomorrow

I think I’ll do something more fun, like giving myself papercuts.

It’s a little wordy. But gets the point across.

It's like living with a six-year old.

I am curious

as to why some of you Snakepitters choose to hang out here for game threads, with us angsty, miserable, depressed Purpleites, instead of with your happy Sedona-red brethren?

Not to say that you’re not welcome, because you most certainly are. Just curious.

It's good to get a second opinion, and we don't know as much about the Rox as you do.

Besides, you know how we just enjoy talking with you fine folks.

we’re simulposting.

Speaking for myself,

I was actually posting on both boards, and I find it fun to read both points of view. Plus, I can pick up and save some angst and use it when the DBacks play the way they did in Chicago, so it’s helpful to me!

I started reading Purple Row last year during the playoffs—I think because you came over to the “Pit—and sorta feel now like I know some of you. And I like having a rivalry that doesn’t mean nasty attitudes and rude posts. I’ve followed the Rockies since the beginning of their existence because we used to live in CO and were excited that finally there was a team there! And then when we lived in AZ, the DBacks started up and they became my team. But the Rocks are my very close #2 team,so I like visiting with you all. I read PR most of the time, but usually only post when they play the DBacks.

It's like living with a six-year old.

That's cool

And it is our pleasure to host you! I was just wondering if perhaps you were secretly enjoying our misery… ;)

Are you kidding? We get our own misery—like last week. Or, maybe last season, say in the post season.

Which is exactly why

you’d be enjoying it now? ;) Just kidding, honestly. I know you guys are good people and fun to have here.

I dunno. Trauma has done strange things to my poor battered brain. Remember: Don’t take Silverblood seriously.
